Football is a game I had always enjoy in my school days with friends. It is a games with bring us together, even strangers to form team and play together and have fun.
Football ⚽️ is a more than a game and sports. It teaches one to be strong and strive. No one will win all the time, so accepting every defeat and learning from mistakes and shortfalls will make one grow stronger and wiser. During every match, every sportsman may fall and suffer from injury, but he will stand up, persevere, and continue to fight and achieve his dream goals.
